REALTOR® Application
Thank you for your interest in joining the Peoria Area Association of REALTORS®. Once you have completed the Realtor® membership application, you will be contacted to set up an appointment to meet at PAAR to submit payment and receive onboarding training (2hrs).
I hereby apply for membership in the Peoria Area Association of REALTORS® and agree to abide by the Bylaws, policies and procedures. I understand my payment will be returned to me in the event I am not accepted to membership. I will attend the first available New Member Orientation session offered from the time of application. I understand if I fail to attend the second Orientation session it will revoke my provisional membership and the termination of services until all class requirements have been completed. In the event of my election, I agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®, which includes the duty to arbitrate (or to mediate if required by the Association) and the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations. I understand membership brings certain privileges and obligations that require compliance. Membership is final only upon approval by the Board of Directors and may be revoked should completion of requirements, such as orientation, not be completed within the timeframe established in the Association's Bylaws. I understand that I will be required to complete periodic Code of Ethics training as specified in the Association's Bylaws as a continued condition of membership.
NOTE: Applicant acknowledges that if accepted as a member and he/she subsequently resigns from the Association or otherwise causes membership to terminate with an ethics complaint pending, the Board of Directors may condition renewal of membership upon applicant's certification and he/she will submit to the pending ethics proceeding and will abide by the decision of the hearing panel. If applicant resigns or otherwise causes membership to terminate, the duty to submit to arbitration continues in effect even after membership lapses or is terminated, provided the dispute arose while applicant was a REALTOR®.
